Article Abstract

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used increasingly in image interpretation tasks. Human reliance on technology and bias can cause decision errors. A checklist, used with the AI to mitigate against such biases, may optimise the use of AI technologies and promote good decision hygiene. A checklist to aid radiographic image interpretation for radiographers using AI for image interpretation was formed. This study investigates the effect of a checklist for musculoskeletal (MSK) radiographic image assessment when using AI interpretive assistance.

Methods: Radiographers were asked to interpret five MSK examinations with AI feedback. They were then provided with the checklist and asked to reinterpret the same five examinations with the AI feedback (n = 140 interpretations). During the interpretation sessions, participants were asked to provide a diagnosis and a confidence level on the diagnosis provided. Participants were then asked to complete a questionnaire to gain feedback on the use of the checklist.

Results: Fourteen radiographers were recruited. Nine participants found the checklist alongside the AI most useful and five participants found the AI element to be most useful on its own. Five participants found the AI feedback to be useful as it helped to critique the radiographic image interpretation more closely and rethink their own initial diagnosis.

Conclusion: The checklist for use with AI in MSK image interpretation contained useful elements to the user, but further developments can be made to enhance its use in clinical practice.

Explainable Machine Learning for Estimating the Contrast Material Arrival Time in Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography.

J Thorac Imaging

September 2025

Department of Radiology, the Affiliated Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Wuxi People's Hospital, Wuxi Medical Center, Nanjing Medical University.

Purpose: To establish an explainable machine learning (ML) approach using patient-related and noncontrast chest CT-derived features to predict the contrast material arrival time (TARR) in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients referred for CTPA between September 2023 to October 2024. Sixteen clinical and 17 chest CT-derived parameters were used as inputs for the ML approach, which employed recursive feature elimination for feature selection and XGBoost with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) for explainable modeling.

Significance: Tumor tissues exhibit contrast with healthy tissue in circular degree of polarization (DOP) images via higher magnitude circular DOP values and increased helicity-flipping. This phenomenon may enable polarimetric tumor detection and surgical/procedural guidance applications.

Aim: Depolarization metrics have been shown to exhibit differential responses to healthy and cancer tissue, whereby tumor tissues tend to induce less depolarization; however, the understanding of this depolarization-based contrast remains limited.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping the diagnostic and therapeutic of primary aldosteronism (PA). For screening, machine learning models integrate multidimensional data to improve the efficiency of PA detection, facilitating large-scale population screening. For diagnosis, AI-driven algorithms have further enhanced the specificity of PA identification.

Introduction: Absence of language development is a condition encountered across a large range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including a significant proportion of children with autism spectrum disorder. The neurobiological underpinnings of non-verbal ASD (nvASD) remain poorly understood.

Methods: This study employed multimodal MRI to investigate white matter (WM) microstructural abnormalities in nvASD, focusing on language-related pathways.
